Using this Klein Tools pliers holder is a breeze. First, choose a belt that's up to 2 inches wide. Slide the belt through the slot on the holder. Then, place your 8 - inch or 9 - inch long - nose or diagonal - cutting pliers into the holder. The long - nose pliers can even stick out through the bottom opening. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the leather. If it gets dirty, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe it clean. And don't expose it to extreme heat or moisture for long periods, as this can damage the leather. With proper use and care, this pliers holder will serve you well for a long time.
